Liang Sheng never imagined that even living in a remote countryside village, she’d be captured by vampires to serve as a servant.

Trudging in a long line, everyone wore tattered clothes. Above them, vampires stood on high balconies in lavish robes, eyes dripping with disdain.

“Look at these lowly humans,” one sneered. “Filthy. Just the thought of being served by them makes me sick!”

Yes—this world had already fallen to the vampires.

Where would she end up? A servant for some noble vampire? Or slaughtered for blood, offered up as tribute? Liang Sheng lowered her head, heart heavy with dread.

They reached the grand square—or rather, an arena. Vampires sat elevated while soldiers herded the terrified captives below.

Was this a beast-fighting spectacle? For their amusement? Liang Sheng gulped, eyes darting nervously.

“Don’t be afraid.” A tall black-haired girl beside her gently squeezed her hand, offering a warm smile. “They’re only selecting servants.”

“O-oh…” Liang Sheng nodded dazedly. “H-how do you know? Who are you?”

“I’m Gu Yuqi. My intuition tells me.” Her voice was soft.

Before Liang Sheng could reply—

“This human is mine!”

From the highest seat, a lavishly dressed vampire with purple twin tails pointed straight at her.

“Which one, milady?” a guard stepped forward.

“The green-haired, curly one in blue~” Hana’s cheeks flushed as she traced a finger over her lips.

“M-me?” Liang Sheng panicked. She hadn’t caught the words clearly.

Gu Yuqi, also unsure, opened her mouth to comfort her—

“Move!” A guard yanked Liang Sheng from the crowd.

“Gu Yuqi!” She reached back desperately.

Gu Yuqi’s lips moved silently: *I’ll come save you.*

Roughly dragged onto the platform, Liang Sheng was shoved before Hana—then kicked off-balance, stumbling to her knees.

“Tch!” Hana glared fiercely at the guard. “Who allowed you to kick her? Get out!”

Then came the astonishing sight: Hana rose from her throne and walked toward her.

Liang Sheng trembled violently. *She’s the Queen… Is she going to drink my blood?!*

Instead, Hana gently lifted her up.

“From today on, you’re my blood servant~” She patted Liang Sheng’s head, voice tender.

“Ah…?” Liang Sheng blinked, utterly confused.

“Let’s go to my place~” Hana spread her wings and wrapped an arm around Liang Sheng’s tiny waist.

“Ah—! Big flapping moth!” Liang Sheng blurted out.

*Oops!* Her heart sank. *Did I just insult her?! Will she kill me?!*

Silence fell.

“Huh?” Queen Hana tilted her head, a genuinely cute look of confusion on her face.

“How dare you!” a guard barked.

Hana’s expression snapped cold. “Who are *you* yelling at? Kneel. Apologize to my blood servant.”

The stunned guard dropped to his knees before Liang Sheng.

“Alright, let’s go home~” Hana chirped, mood shifting in a blink.

Liang Sheng stayed silent the whole way.

*Is she scared of me?* Hana pouted, glancing at the girl in her arms.

No—Liang Sheng was just terrified of heights.

“Ugh…” Peering down, her stomach churned.

“I-I’m gonna be sick!” She clung tightly to Hana’s neck.

*She’s hugging me!* Hana’s face flushed. *So cute!* She hugged back tighter.

“No! P-please let me down—I’ll vomit!” The squeeze made nausea surge.

“Anything you say!” Hana cooed, love-struck.

“Ugh—!” Liang Sheng heaved until empty, then crouched on the ground, panting and wiping her mouth.

“All better~?” Hana bent close.

“Hey?!” Liang Sheng pushed her away, flustered. “I just threw up… my breath stinks. Keep back.”

Hana caught her small hands. “Hana won’t mind~ Here, drink water~”

After rinsing, Liang Sheng clutched her hand. “C-can we not fly? I’m scared of heights…”

“Sure~” Hana smiled, liking the idea of a quiet street stroll.

“Oh! Your name?” Hana suddenly asked. “You never told Hana.”

Liang Sheng almost lied—but what was the point? “I’m Liang Sheng. *Liang* means ‘cool,’ and *Sheng*… it shares the character with ‘giving birth.’”

“Oh!” Hana blinked. “So… does Liang Sheng mean you want to bear children for me?”

“Huh? Huh?!” Liang Sheng froze. *What kind of logic is that?!*

“Here we are~” Hana led her to a grand gate.

“I’m… *so* eager~” She licked her lips and scooped Liang Sheng up.

*Eager for what?!* Liang Sheng tensed in her arms.

“Bathe her! Dress her in something I like!”

Servants swarmed, dragging a terrified Liang Sheng toward the bath. “W-what are you doing?!” She covered her chest, feeling small and helpless.

“Hey!” Hana burst in. “She washes alone! All of you—out! Stare and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”

They scrambled away.

“A-and you?” Liang Sheng still shielded herself.

Hana closed the door with a smile. “Why~ I’ll watch… so you don’t run~”

“I…” Liang Sheng froze at the sight of sharp fangs.

“O-okay.” The coward instantly obeyed, undressing slowly.

*Wow~ What a show!* Hana watched, captivated.

After a hesitant bath, wrapped in a towel, Liang Sheng received a skimpy camisole set.

*Huh?!* She cringed inwardly—but with her life on the line, she put it on.

Hana beamed, lifting her again.

*Thump!*

Liang Sheng landed on a plush bed.

“Mmm~” Hana leaned close. “Now… please enjoy this~”

“Huh? Ah! Ah…” Confusion turned to fear, then a strange warmth washed over her as her eyes slowly closed.

Hana’s fangs pierced her delicate neck, drinking deeply.

“Zzz…” Liang Sheng drifted into unexpected sleep.

Morning light filtered in. Liang Sheng opened her eyes—Hana lay beside her.

Then she remembered Gu Yuqi’s whisper:

*I’ll come save you.*

*When…?* Liang Sheng gazed at the sky.
